Hi
yes, kinda offtopic, but here's an answer.....
I use xerces and came up with the following:
if you look at the InputSource constructors you will see that you can
pass it a StringReader... and a StringReader has a constructor that you
can pass a String....
<snip>
String theXML;
theXML = httpservletrequest.getParameter("xml");
if (theXML == null) {
// houston, we have a problem
} else{
// do stuff with the xml
try {
XMLReader xr = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader();
MyHandler handler = new MyHandler();
xr.setContentHandler(handler);
xr.setErrorHandler(handler);
StringReader sr = new StringReader(theXML);
xr.parse(new InputSource(sr));
}
}catch (SAXException se){
//dostuff
}catch (IOException ioe){
//do stuff
}
}

Hi,
I have a servlet that uses COS send a post to another servlet. I've
included a parameter called "XMLMSG" which contains a string, which is
valid
XML. The servlet at the other end can pick out the XML with
String xmlrequest = req.getParameter("XMLMSG");
This all works fine. However, I want to Parse this XML message,
preferably
using a SAX Parser - but the parameters to the Parse function are
either a
org.xml.sax.InputSource or a java.lang.String (identifying the
systemid). I
want to actually parse the String xmlrequest itself.
I can see only one solution so far - have the listening servlet write
the
string to a filesystem temp file, then provide the known URI to this
temp
file as a String. However - this doesn't seem particuarly elegant, and
will
probably impact the performance, as there will definately be a write to
the
disk.
Can anybody think of a better solution, i.e. a parser that allows me
to
parse a string? I have a feeling that there could be a simple answer to
this
(such is life).
My apologies if this is slightly offtopic, but I've posted to the
xml-interest sun list, and recieved only a reply saying tha the list
is
currently "held". This has obviously not helped :-)
Regards,
Tim
